"your majesty. There is no doubt that person is an enchantress. No, rather, this minister believes that the man his highness the crown prince had brought back with him is an enchantress."
"Yes your majesty. Or else there is no way the crown prince could possibly be enchanted by a man at such, as our crown prince is an entity blessed by the sun god. He is the halo to our empire. "
"Silence! Do not insult my nephew with your bitter mouth. Your rotten smells are tainting his highness the crown prince's name. Are you implying there is an enchantress strong enough to cloud a spell of love upon our blessed crown prince?"
A man in pure purple robe banged his fist on the arm of the chair.
"Don't tell me you are seeking death!"
This purple haired man was quite domineering. Dressed in all purple. His light yellow hair was braided into a long tail. His pair of coal black eyes that looked at the herd of ministers seated across him was making them sweat in all worry, afraid of the eccentric relative of the royal family lest he takes out his fury upon them.
Only a few amongst them were not fearful of his presence.
"But you know." Someone suddenly spoke. "The man the crown prince brought back with him a few days ago, he was um...actually very enchanting. I wouldn't be surprised if his highness were to actually fall in love with him according to his own will."
This time the daring person was the young prime minister of defense. He had a pretty relaxed and calm facade. However despite his dull brown hair his eyes which were placid and pure could stir the hell out of people when those eyes got serious.
"Do not speak nonsense! Else i will cut off your tongue Eustin!" Aroar spat at him. As someone who had witnessed the crown prince grow up and had actually contributed to his childhood he did not believe he was someone who could be seduced but he was also clearly not someone who would fall in love with another so easily.
"Well nonsense or not, you should know better. Don't you think?" Eustin replied him wearing a slight grin on his lips.
And this he truly could not retort.
The meeting on the strange man the crown prince had brought back had been going on for about five hours by now. A lot of the ministers were accusing the man to be an enchantress. While the few were conflicted as to admit that the crown prince was someone who could possibly fall out as a victim of love spells. While a few believed that it could also be true. Maybe the prince really had fallen in love with a man. While some were just confused. Regardless the subject of the meeting was very conflicting.
A sigh left his lips. He had not spoken a single word or commented on the subject of the meeting this whole time. Seated at his dragon throne he had been paying attention to the voices in the court.
"When is Lady Miko arriving?"
Who knew the first words that would leave his lips would be these words.
"She should be here anytime soon. My king." Shadow, his personal guard replied.
King Satt stared at the door. Right when he was about to withdraw his gaze from the entrance of the chamber his eyes beamed with an unnoticeable joy.
"Announcing, Lady Augreal has arrived."
This readily caught the attention of everyone present in the chamber. Even Aroar and Eustin were no exception.
The silhouette of this person shone bright in their eyes. A fairly wrinkled face and a hunched back. But it did not delude the elegance and grace she emitted. The jewel of the king's heart she was. Yet she had the guts to refuse him and escape from his claws. Although some did not like her but they did respected her, which she deserved.
"Miko. You are finally here." King Satt smiled at her.
She looked back at him. "Greetings my king. It was given i had to arrive early since the urgency of the matter cannot be delayed much."
The one on the dragon throne did not seem very pleased with her actions. But he dare not raise his voice as he knew she was a tough one. Older than him by over twenty years, he had always feared her as a child, a boy, as teenager, a youth, as an adult and now as a man: an old man.
Miko swept a glance across the faces of the ministers. They were all wearing a very impatient expression on their rigid faces. Except for five. She laughed inwardly. These five never change, do they? She thought.
"Since the situation is rather urgent and many are getting impatient, which is understandable, this old lady shall dive right into the hole, the burning hole whose lid many have been waiting for, i, shall bestow this upon you. To believe it or not..." She looked at Aroar. "Is up to you. You decide what you wish to see."
"The man the crown prince had brought back with him....is neither a seductress nor an enchantress. He is just a normal person. A normal yet a very enchanting man."
Gasps could be heard amongst the group of ministers. But what followed next shocked even the king and the royal uncle.
"I just happened to chance a gaze upon the two stars of the meeting and surprisingly what i saw was a man deeply in love with the other and a man refusing his love. Devotedly stubborn and arrogantly stubborn. It was quite interesting."
The grin on Eustin's face grew even wider. Ah! His hunch was correct.
The crown prince was in love!
